Former 'Coronation Street' star Christopher Quinten proposes to 21-year-old stripper girlfriend

Ex Coronation Street star Christopher Quinten is engaged to his 21-year-old stripper girlfriend Robyn Delabarre.

Quinten, who played Gail Platt’s husband Brian Tilsley on the ITV, is forty years older than Delabarre, who he proposed to at her 21st birthday party.

Delabarre recently shared a video on her Facebook account, in which she is seen sitting on a chair as Quinten gets down on one knee and pops the question.

The stripper, who has been in ‘secret’ relationship with Quinten for seven months, instantly said yes before getting emotional and throwing her face into her hands.

She wrote alongside the video: “My 21st birthday, a night I will never forget, wow.

“My husband to be! It’s been a crazy seven months, a secret we had to keep because of our jobs but you have made me the happiest girl alive you’re amazing to me,” she wrote.

“I’m so lucky to have you in my life. I’m so glad you’re mine. I love you and I couldn’t care less what anyone has to say.

“I love you with all my heart. Thank you for doing everything you do for me Chris.”

After his character was killed off from Coronation Street in a brutal stabbing, Quinten went on to work at the London strip club Stringfellows. He is now the manager of the gentlemen’s club Secrets Hammersmith, where he met Delabarre.

The couple had to keep their relationship a secret for seven months due to Delabarre being Quinten’s employee, but the stripper recently revealed all in Facebook post after getting back from a romantic holiday Mykonos.

"I have been so spoilt this holiday. What an amazing time we have had and the memories we have made together I will cherish this forever,” she wrote. "Thank you so much Chris for throwing me a surprise 21st birthday and my presents and my amazing holiday you truly are the best.

"I’ve had the best 21st birthday I could ever of wished for... I love you.”
